Tonight's Run

I went on a run tonight right before dark and had the most euphoric beautiful experience ever. For once in several months there was not any humidity and the temperature was in the mid 70's with a nice pleasant breeze. I began running and I felt great. My body has been hurting recently and I had a really bad weekend where I just felt overly lonely which began on my Birthday without really having anyone to hang out with. Anyway, I began running feeling well and enjoying the weather. As I was running, I switched music from the normal techno/music with various beats that I run well to, to a mix that my dear friend Angela made awhile ago. Along the route I first ran along the bayou, along the rushing water from recent rain and along grassy meadows and trees. I ran through a nice neighborhood and into the medical center. I ran through the medical center, the largest in the world, passing the radiation center, the cancer center, the several children's hospitals, the medical schools, listening to this mix from Angela with a bunch of songs with various meanings. I felt so powerful and at ease, I was running a great pace without breathing hard, I felt great. THe anxiety I felt all day ceased. I kept going, I passed a young 20 something year old woman with a bald head from cancer sitting on a bench in the dark, then I passed a roaring waterfall, ambulance with paramedics working on patients, a car accident, mean while I kept going, listening to this beautiful music thinking God, I feel so good. I am so healthy. THen I passed a few homeless men in the park. All my stress and my unhappiness exist why? There are patients looking out the window at me, healthy, running, feeling great to music with sentimental and powerful lyrics. I am blessed. Darkness drew. I kept going. I ran through the zoo, through the golf course, memories flooding from my years with Angela, Canby, home, mom, living. I eventually got back to my apartment with a different outlook on things. I think this is what is called a runner's high. This makes absolute no sense. I did not do justice to the run I just went on, but that's the beauty of it... it was too incredible to put into words :)
